Bodie's one-year deal will pay him an NHL salary of $550,000 and an American League amount of $105,000.

The rugged 6-foot-4 right wing played in 57 games with the Ducks over three seasons before he was put on waivers Nov. 16. Carolina claimed him and Bodie played another 50 games with the Hurricanes last season, recording a goal and two assists along with 54 penalty minutes.

Bodie, 26, was put on waivers Wednesday as the Ducks intend to send him to the AHL's Syracuse Crunch where he will likely serve as the replacement for enforcer Brian McGrattan, who was claimed off waivers by Nashville on Tuesday.

Bodie's best season came in 2009-10 when he scored a career-high five goals and added two assists and 80 penalty minutes in 44 games with the Ducks.
